Our HOA fees are relatively low and there is no CC payment option (though of course could pay via BILT).

As noted above, the question now (for those of us who don't currently hold the card) is whether it is worth wasting a 5/24 slot on this card especially now that the rent day bonus is capped at $1k in spend. The 5x bonus discussion on the Chase card is irrelevant, and I'm not going to spend $1k dining on the first of the month. So it really boils down to an extra 1000 points on everyday spend - which I already get elsewhere 24/7/365 (no special timing needed).
